January Siggy Challenge
Last night, around 7:30pm, I had a pop and a gush of blood, followed by the passing of a clot the size of a grapefruit. We were just getting DD into bed, so we called my mom, rushed to L&D, and called my MFM on the way. I thought for sure my water broke, and the clot was my placenta, or a large portion of it.
We got to L&D and there was a 41 weeker with her hospital bags, signing in for her induction. There was another full term mom with ruptured membranes with her hospital bags, and then there was me. I could not hold back the tears thinking that I might not make it to where they are. The registering nurse had been prepped for my arrival and took me straight back, which I am thankful for, I couldn't handle being around the other moms at the moment.
I was able to see the same MFM I had seen on Friday, which was awesome. She immediately took my to the high risk wing, because they have, probably, the best ultrasound machine in the hospital. She first checked my fluid in both sacs, which looked great, no signs of rupture. Then she measured my cervix, which was at 4cm on Friday, and is now 2.6. That is very concerning. She also found that my placenta is tearing away from the wall, it's called a placenta abruption, and the outlook is bleak.
There is a lot of blood pooling in the tear, and the blood is leaking into the babies sacs. I asked if that would hurt them, and she didn't really give me an answer. She just kinda of sad smiled at us. I think because she doesn't have much hope that they will make it either way. I asked if we could do a cecrlage for my cervix, and she said at this point, with twins, it's a little late.I asked how bad it is that my cervix shortened so much in 2 days, and she said, it's unfortunately a sign that my body might be giving in. If I make it until Thursday, we might put one in just for shits and giggles. She has me on progesterone now to encourage the bleeding to stop, and I'm on complete bed rest. I'm up to pee, a 5 minute shower, and then back down.
The new plan is Hospital bed rest at 20 weeks, where we will start steroids and magnesium. She is hopeful that if we can get the bleeding to stop completely, we might be able to make it 4 more weeks. If we make it 4, we might make it to 24, and if we make it that long, we might get to take home our babies.
I am losing hope here. I am sensing that my MFM is too. She kept saying that the only thing going for me, is I carried DD to 39 weeks. I am also in the DC area, and INOVA Fairfax is one of the absolute best NICUs in the country, and has one of the strongest and most experienced MFM teams. I'm confident I'm receiving the best care available, so I'm so very thankful for that. She also really encouraged me not to google, I failed at that, and now see why she said not to.
We were team green, but I decided I wanted to know their sex last night. If I am going to have to deliver non viable babies, I wanted them to have names. We are crossing our fingers, praying our hardest, and begging for hope, that Scott and Miles will be coming home with us one day.
We appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and kind words and support you all have sent our way.
Other than my mom and sister, we are not discussing this with people. It's really helping to write things out. I think I'm going to start a blog.
